A point I'd like to see discussed more, especially with people who are fans of capitalism:
Economic inequality makes money less useful.
My thinking: as inequality gets increasingly extreme, customer-facing vendors are increasingly motivated to price their offerings to appeal to the higher end of that range -- sacrificing quantity of sales for overall increase in profit.
The more this happens, the fewer people have enough discretionary spending money left over -- or, indeed, enough to live on.
Survival (and even prosperity) then becomes less about money and more about establishing supportive community (a mix of barter and localized socialism).
Take-away: #UBI is the only way to save #capitalism.

Members of market society provide you with everything you need. But you plan to lead them to #socialism, where you all will have no tools to fight it. And if you try, you simply end your days in the equivalent of the Gulag or Auschwitz. Did you know that Nazi Germany was a socialist state?

Remember the German Marxist revolution after the first world war? Hitler adopted the colours of the popular socialist movements of the time to co-opt their members for corporate fascism, as he himself admitted in Mein Kampf.
Why else do you think the Nazis gave socialists, trade unionists and communists their own work camp patch? 🤡

It has been proven time and again that all humans want to be creative and do what they do best, try themselves out and see what they are good at it. There will be a small percentage (2-5% at most) who won't, but even those are people who have a right to live and we as a society should not value people by what they can contribute to a capitalist system but rather by them being alive.
Also, it has been proven, again and again, that UBI actually makes society richer because people can finally do what they are great at because they don't have to fucking work for a living, but work what they love most.
People like the authors of that shit up there are inhuman assholes who have never had to work really, really hard for a small piece of a bread or who never had to worry where to get the next dinner for their children, or even worse, who never skipped their own dinner so their children had something to eat.
Food, shelter, clothing, and health must be basic

Food, shelter, clothing, and health must be basic human rights and every human must be entitled to them - and it must be our, all of us's, responsibility to create a soeciety that fulfils those basic human rights!
I have reached a point in my life where I am calling for the guillotine for people like the authors of these kind of articles...
